Librarians are available to help with your research needs. You will find their offices located on the library second floor (Rooms 220-230) in the Research Center of the Learning Commons. You may contact them in a variety of ways: in-person, chat, phone and email. Whether you are in the building or elsewhere, you can call a librarian at 610-519-4273 or email a librarian at ref@villanova.edu.

In Person: Much like faculty, librarians maintain office hours during the week and are available on Sundays.

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday: 9am – 8pm

Thursday: 9am – 6pm

Friday: 10am – 4pm

Sunday: 2pm – 8pm

During office hours you can walk right into the Library and request to see the on call librarian immediately. You can also contact a subject librarian directly to set up an appointment.

Chat: Librarians are available by chat during office hours, as well as 8pm- 10pm on Mondays and on Saturdays from 1pm to 5pm. Chatting with a librarian is easy: simply find the green dot at the bottom of the library website and open a chat box:
